Appeal Application No. 2020-02, ER No. 2018-13 & AA No. 2020-04 — 4th and Mortimer Mixed -Use Development December 1, 2020 Page 15 utilities and service systems; and climate change. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), findings of fact, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2010 EIR. As part of the 2020 Addendum to the 2010 EIR, the original MMRP must be readopted by the Planning Commission. All mitigation measures in the original EIR and associated MMRP have been enforced and are carried over within the 2020 Addendum, with exception of mitigation measure MM4.4-1(a) as part of the Cultural Resources which was revised after consultation with California Native American Tribes. Addendum Conclusions The Addendum focuses on the potential environmental impacts associated with the project, including the site plan review application, variance, and amendment application that might cause a change in the conclusions of the certified 2010 EIR, including changes in circumstances or new information of substantial importance that would substantially change those conclusions. To fully evaluate the proposed project's impacts on the site the development required preparation of studies relating to shade and shadow, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, traffic, parking, hydrology, and sewer capacity, which were extensively peer reviewed by the City's CEQA consultant. In addition, additional studies relating to cultural resources, noise and vibration were prepared by the CEQA consultant (Attachments to the 2020 Addendum). In addition, the project is within a Transit Priority Area. Under Senate Bill 743, aesthetic and parking impacts cannot be considered a significant impact within a Transit Priority Area. The 4th and Mortimer development project Addendum concludes no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed development when compared to those identified in the 2010 EIR and finds that no supplemental or subsequent EIR is required for the proposed development. Therefore, the 2010 EIR's MMRP will continue to mitigate or lessen any impacts already identified by the TZC's original 2010 EIR. Economic Development A fiscal and economic impact analysis prepared by RSG, Inc. and The Concord Group was submitted for the project. The analysis estimates that the proposed development will result net positive fiscal impacts to the City, the Business Improvement District, and create over 800 new temporary or permanent jobs. Specifically, the analysis estimates the following impacts: $5.4 million net new General Fund revenues associated with the project over a 25-year period, resulting from: o A total of $7.8 million in additional City General Fund revenue, including $2.9 million in net new property tax revenues, construction period revenues, recurring site -specific tax, and other Project impacts over a 25-year period, and o $2.4 million in General Fund expenditures associated with the project over a 25-year period 806 direct, indirect, or induced new jobs resulting from the project, of which 35 would be permanent Approximately $205,424 in Business Improvement District (BID) funds 75C-15
